Honda has a recall item that finally happened (Recall was annouced in 2003) (Not the tranny issue either). Anyway the ignition switch wore out enough you can remove the key without putting the car in park. Luckily car was parked in a spot and only rolled foward 1/4th an inch and bumped into the wall. Good news is it chipped the front bumper a little in small places so honda said they may cover it under recall therefor i get a new bumper instead of paying for a new one
[QUOTE=Ollih;36783122]I'm not, literally every car you see in the summer is one of those ugly loud slow pieces of shit also hitler[/QUOTE] Ugly is your opinion It's not very loud unless the owner has replaced the exhaust system Slow they may be, but they're not pieces of shit

I don't see what the problem is
My truck does it too and I love it, useful for when I get the mail when it's cold or I have a friend with me and I have them open my gate, I can leave the truck running and use the other keys allowing me to only need 1 key ring. My friends have figured out though that it I don't turn it back far enough the column shifter lock doesn't engage and neither does the tumbler lock so they can break in through my sliding rear window, start the truck and drive away. I haven't allowed them to do this though, they've tried though and now I'm paranoid.
[QUOTE=AbysalRush;36783908]I can take my key out in any position, in any gear. I don't see what the problem is[/QUOTE] Automatics since like the 80's p much have it so you can't take the key out of the ignition without the shifter in park.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36784230]I can almost feel your butthurt radiating from the monitor.[/QUOTE] that doesn't make any sense
Gonna be walking or riding a longboard to work until I can get a couple hundred for a timing kit and headgasket kit. Headstuds, exhaust studs, rent-tools. That or find an affordable shop that can do it for me.

lol i found a bug in my ford's radio that lets me listen to siriusXM without paying for it

So for lunch today, in Colorado, we went to a dinner. And sure as shit, there was a classic car show going on
[QUOTE=SilentOpp;36787237]Do share, I don't feel like paying for the shit once it expires(hopefully whatever you have uses the same radio as my Super Duty? ).[/QUOTE] well for my 2012 focus i just go back and forth between sirius and radio until the forced mute on sirius doesn't come on. then i just press dismiss on the "expired, call this number to buy more sirius" popup on the screen, and then i have free sirius radio until the next time i turn off the engine

And they used them in EVERYTHING so finidng one is easy, and oftentimes cheaper than dirt.

(trans, ECU, cluster, harness etc). It would still be a tremendous investment right now. My friend has 5 240's and is a mechanic, maybe he can help do the HG for me for $300, cba atm, no tools and time. Need other 100K hardware too. HG kit, timing chain kit + cover. Headstuds/bolts
It pleases my heart that the one single guy on here that talks shit about classic Beetles get drowned in boxes :v:

Are flower vases a popular thing with beetles? Cause i see one in that pic, and remembered hitching a ride with my grandma in her new-ish beetle ('10+, not sure what year exactly, but not the new '12) and hers had one, too, right next to the steering wheel. Then again she had one in her mini, too, so it could just be an old lady thing, idk.

I went to an unnoficial car meet thing where lots of people just bring their cars and showed off. There was a classic beetle there. But it's rear wheels had huuuge negative camber, it looked pretty awful. I can understand liking the hellaflush look, but why do it to a beetle? [b]WHYYYYY[/b]

It has ads in it now, which is against the WHOLE SELLING POINT of the goddamned thing. What i'd like to see is Pandora in radios, which some cars have with their radio system now.
the next best thing is plugging a 3g-capable phone into an aux port if your car is newer

That'd make it so much more convenient.
